Hey Dan,

Great to hear I'm not goin' to crazy with my preference for an aft CG. As a counter point I would say I ran into the obvious today when flying around in 15 knot gusty winds. The plane seemed to bounce around more than I wanted so I tried moving my battery back significantly from its normal postion, and, of course, found that it tracked in the wind much better with a more forward CG. The truly surprising part was that the roll didn't change enough so that I noticed so I'm thinkin' I may change my mind and try a slightly more forward CG for awhile. When I got home and measured it was around 187 for the new CG.

Anyways still glad to hear I'm not too far off with what other folks are using. I wish I could speak more to the rudder-aileron mix needed. Unfortunately I have the mix on my radio as well, but it was all the work of Chris so I can't say much about it. Looks like I have my homework cut out for me for next week




Thanks,

Joe
